** I was experiencing a crummy day and found this to be forgiving** Hope you enjoy!
I am me
In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me.
there are persons who have some parts like me, but no one adds up exactly like me.
Therefore, everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it.
I own everything about me-my body, including everything it does;
My mind, including all its thoughts and ideas;
My eyes, including the images they behold:
My feelings, whatever they may be-anger, joy, frustration, love, disappointment, excitement;
My mouth, and all the words that come out of it, polite, sweet or rough, correct or incorrect;
My voice, loud or soft;
and all my action whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts.
I can then make it possible for all of me to work in my best interest.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know.
But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for the solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is me.
This is authentic and represents where I am at that moment in time.
When I review later how I looked and sounded, what I said and did, and how I thought and felt, some parts may turn out to be unfitting.
I can decide that which is unfitting and keep that which proved fitting and invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.
I have tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside me.
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me.
I am me and I am ok.

Chili,
This is great. I hope it made your day go better.
That's beautiful. I second what Darby said. Sometimes all it takes to make life more compatible is to read something like this, and it automatically creates an attitude adjustment. Inspiration is the rope that pulls us up from the depths of despair. Thanks for posting the piece--it has given me additional insight, gratitude, and courage.
I'm glad you are you! Wouldn't have it any other way.
